I just bought one of these at tractor supply that had been returned. Customer said the belts wouldn't stay on. They had the belts so tight that the tensioner bracket was bending. I took the bracket off and welded a brace on and it's running like a champ...

Impressive product. I think the 40 ton rating is "optimistic", however, this is one of the more powerful kinetic splitters I have seen. Would like to see how it handles wood that is more gnarly or imperfect. Thanks for the video!

Great vide Evan. I am trying to decide between the Super Split HD and one of these. How has the machine been working for you since you bought it one year ago? Also about how many face cords have you split and has anything failed on the machine?
@evanjosey4745 Жыл бұрын
I would say I have split 75 face cord with it. Replaced belts and a spring is all. The one big draw back it the wheel assembly... there is no bearing and is almost useless to pull around even the yard. I'm going to upgrade and put some in that have a bearing. Wheels get hot and lock up.

I see 3 problems with this splitter right off the bat. 1 It sits too close to the ground. You are always bent over. I don't know about you but my back can't take it. Better to lift another foot than work bent over. 2 It takes two hands to operate the ram. 3 The ram doesn't go close enough to the wedge to make a complete cut in stringy wood. But it is fast.
@evanjosey47453 жыл бұрын
It is a little low but no different than any other log splitter. Could always pull it onto some boards or something to make it a good height. You could remove the safety lever with 1 bolt but I wouldn't recommend it, one slip up could be really bad if your hand wasn't out of the way. The ram not going far enough is like alot of other splitters they won't go all of the way or it would cause damage to itself. Overall for what I'm using it for I'm very impressed. Few minor things definitely still wouldn't be a deal breaker for me.

Always cool to here different families logging stories. My family’s history of logging dates back to the early 1900s for me on my mothers side. My grandma started working in the woods in the 1960s running a small dozer skidding for her dad, and helping load trucks by hand. She got out of it for years then started working in the woods again, for my Grandpa in 1993, running the Iron Mule. She did that up until about 5 years ago when she retired and I took her job. Now its just me and my Grandpa running the business, he hand cuts and i skid with the Mule. Even though my grandma is retired she still tries to get out as often as she can and skid (good thing we have 2 mules lol)
